- Distinguish carefully between requirements and "nice to have". Don't call it a requirement unless you're pretty much completely unwilling to hire anyone without it.
- Note oddities of your physical environment, like open plan office, non-adjustable chairs, desks, monitors, noise like a loud restaurant, no public (non-MITM) WiFi, etc.
- Note oddities of your development practices, like forced pair programming, daily meetings, Scrum/Agile/Flavor-of-the-Week, everyone must use Eclipse, everyone must use Macs, source control in Perforce.
- Note actual average weekly hours, with some hint of variance.
- Note actual annual turnover.
- cloogshicer 8y agoGreat points! Didn't think of turnover, which can be a really good indicator. Office environment is of course also very important.
- towaway1138 8y agoYeah. I once took a job paying FANG-level comp, but with a publicly inferrable turnover of 35% per annum. Big mistake.
